Free Wesleyan Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Free Wesleyan Church is the largest Methodist denomination in the Tonga. The royal family of the country are prominent members, and the late king was a lay preacher.

It was founded as the Free Church of Tonga in 1885, when King George Tupou I decided that a sovereign nation, in the process of promoting its sovereignty abroad by means of bilateral treaties with Western nations, should have an independent (Wesleyan) Church.
